"A new licence has been applied for and until that is in place we have got a number of options for guests to be able to continue enjoying their stay at Forest Pines, including bringing their own alcohol to consume on the property.

"These short-term measures also include a series of temporary event licences. Unfortunately, until the first of these comes into effect we are unable to sell any alcohol on the premises.

"If any guests are concerned about an upcoming visit to Forest Pines, we would ask them to contact the hotel directly to discuss the options available.

"We apologise for any inconvenience and we are working closely with local authorities to resolve this issue at the earliest possible opportunity."
